I found this book to be a surprisingly captivating look at how advertising and advertisers today tap into our conscious and subconscious minds, and also how these persuasive methods apply to political ends. While I expected to be informed on how I as a consumer was affected by ads, I did not expect the level of entertainment I enjoyed while reading.

This was for my son's IB class. It was just what he needed.

Interestingly, this book starts with a discussion of [[ASIN:0970312598 Edward Bernays]], Sigmund Freud's favourite nephew and avid reader of his uncle's work. In this, it is similar to John Pilger's '[[ASIN:B004BF91KK The War You Don't See]]' and Adam Curtis' '[[ASIN:161577503X The Century of the Self]]'.
